    The Power of Words

    The words of this world have power unimagined. Kingdoms fall by the utterance of a phrase, fates chosen, but those who speak aloud. They leave no scars upon our skin, but cleave right to the soul. They make spirits soar, or hearts shatter, and portray our thoughts and minds. He who holds the loudest voice, he who is heard, is the final arbiter, the master of control. It is words that have destroyed me, not swords nor any mark upon this body, but wounds upon my soul.
